Tony Romo’s Fall and Redemption | Dallas Cowboys News

Tony Romo’s broadcasting career hit a rocky patch after he pleaded no contest to an OWI charge in Milwaukee, facing a six-month license suspension and a $784 fine—leading CBS to place him on indefinite leave. Openly discussing his battle with alcohol and pain medication stemming from chronic back issues, Romo is confronting the fallout head-on. In a surprising twist, former Eagles star LeSean McCoy paid tribute by pouring a shot on his podcast “Speakeasy,” calling it a sign of respect and urging Romo to “put the keys down.” McCoy expressed empathy for athletes under constant pressure, hoping Romo gets the help he needs. Though sidelined for now, Romo remains under his lucrative 2020 contract and hopes to return to the booth once his legal matters are resolved.
